Daniel Craig: 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Red Band Trailer!

The film, based on the Stieg Larsson novel of the same name, will hit theaters this December and is dubbed “the feel-bad movie of Christmas” in the trailer.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is about an investigative journalist (Craig) who enlists in the help of a brilliant but misunderstood computer hacker (Mara) to help him solve a murder mystery that’s puzzled a family for decades.

I love how they put it to December so it coincides with the awards season.

This will FLOP like all the other POINTLESS Hollywood remakes.

And its good to see sleeping with directors get you work, uh, Mara?

D

I hope this movie is good! The cinematography looks great, the supporting cast looks amazing, the only thing I’m worried about is the girl. Hope she doesn’t screw it up….. Noomi Rapace was amazing and tough and this actress doesn’t look so tough…but we’ll see.. :/

tricia

NOOOOO! And who remade Led Zeppelin’s song?!

to saint

of course they’re putting this film out in December. how else are they going to get noticed by the voting members of the Academy. and i disagree; this is not another pointless remake. David Fincher is directing this. in case you’ve forgotten he directed the Social Network. had it not been for the King’s Speech he would have won the Oscar for best director. then there’s Christopher Plummer. as for Mara, she got the part on her own merits.

Claire

In all honesty, I’ve seen movies that were remade from the same book, but there were a lot of differences. This version looks like it watched the original movie and tried to remake it scene from scene.

Trying too hard but hey thats American Cinema. Fincher is too good for this.

sb

What a waste of talent (Fincher) on this. The original movies with Noomi Rapace looked way better. What’s the poin tof doing aremake and make it so close to the original minus the badass girl. It ‘s just like everyone is a notch better looking but with less soul.

I’m wary when Hollywood remakes foreign films but with David Fincher I’ll be the first one in line. I think he’s the perfect filmmaker for this. Liked the first Swedish version but I’ll bet this will be better…

Celia

I can’t wait to see this film. The Swedish versions were okay, but I’m eager to see how David Fincher adapts the story.

Looks great, and as great as Rapace was Rooney actually looks closer to the way the book describes her look. She looks perfect.

carrie

Fincher will do the perfect Christmas movie for kids and family(irony) and i like how the trailer looks a “greatest hits” of the swedish movie but with different actors (irony x 2)

liz

it is a well made trailer, karen o is cool but why remake led zeppelin’s song….its a classic dont do that

Leo

wow it’s overwhelming how 90% of people on this site are only able to talk shit about ANYTHING or ANYBODY

hm

what can I say.Everything looks good.But not the MAIN character! I get that now Rooney Mara looks edgy and skinny but she does not represent Lisbeth so much… like she is fierce,awkward and tough cookie.Well,like Noomi Rapace.Maybe the remake would be relevant after 10 years,damn,5 years.But not so fast after the original one.Well,whatever…maybe I saw just very short clips of her and everything would be perfect.Maybe.

This will FLOP. Why? Cause Matt Reeve did a remake of ‘Let Me In’ and it was a total rip-off scene to scene. People were pissed before it even was green lit. That movie flopped! Fincher may be good but I am not convinced Rooney Mara will be any good, she got this role because of her relationship with Fincher.

Moya

AWESOME!!!!!
I can’t understand why this trailar is a Red Band.

Guinness

Naysayers…read my lips….this is going to explode into theaters! It will go blockbuster in minutes! The american people wanted it, the american people got Hollywood to make it just by making it a best seller for so long. (is it still on the list?). I have purchased and read all of the books plus I have watched all the Swedish versions.-have you? okedokey, then, you may write your opinion. Rapace was brilliant–she will continue her career on the high end because of her fantastic interpretation. Rooney will too. Stop complaining–we get to watch it 6 different times—how many times does THAT happen?? that is cool!!!!

Yo- Mendel, seen Fio? you two partying without me? its a holiday HERE–you have a holiday where you are? I got to a beach today–and some sun, and some bugs…there was even a bear(couldn’t get a clear pic of him on the ski slope tho…) Well, I guess I will see you when you get here…Imma gonna watch the trailer again. and again. My Dan even was impressed (he is a fan of the books and watched the Rapace version). We love the Led remake.

Jess

Craig is a perfect fit for Mikael Bloomkist! Fincher is always no wrong.

we have seen this ad before, no? they gots to plug it ex-peshally when Dan is spitting out movies left and right. The face color matches his eyes? ah, yeah, i will buy it now. Or maybe I should pay MY MORTGAGE FOR THIS YEAR!!!!!

And how can pirated movies be illllllegal, yet this “red ban” leaked trailer is viral and no issues? methinks something is amiss in protesting rating laws…..

Amy

Leaked? WOW. Great! :)
Love Daniel as Blomkvist, and I’m most impressed by Stellan Skarsgård as Martin Vanger. He made really creepy Martin.

Guinness

It is red ban because Rooney’s pectoral is revealed in the trailer, correct? or something like that.

Rooney and Fincher are not an item(at least, not because she wanted the part, that is soooo 1980′s and Madonna to think women get jobs because of who they sleep with! oh, maybe in the IMF, sorry, my bad)–”haters” are assuming cuz they dont like that she was chosen over so many other just as qualified as her….I just think she was in the right place at the right time, knew the person who hired her, and 90 percent of the time a person is hired because of the “people network” they develop.

I must be bored…
anyway, where is that NYC super star teenaged pap—not chasing Dan I see….

Dahlia

SICK. Fincher is a genius!!

Daniel

I am a big fan of David Fincher’s directing, but I don’t think Rooney Mara will be able to outshine Noomi Rapace, she was just so terrific in the originals!

Ibza

I wish Green Band is not too moderate. Can’t wait to see!

Mendel

Love the trailer! It gives me the same creepy feeling I had when reading the book for the first time and couldn’t put it down. I felt slightly queasy, but couldn’t stop reading because it was so good.
Now I want to see that film. NOW!

Hi Guinness

“Yo- Mendel, seen Fio? you two partying without me? its a holiday HERE–you have a holiday where you are?”

Yes, spring bank holiday today! :)
Fio was busy posting links in the earlier thread, but maybe has been whisked away on a mini-break? Or maybe she’s just escaped in the Dan Van…

“there was even a bear(couldn’t get a clear pic of him on the ski slope tho…)”

Woah, I love bears! Would probably run away if one got too close, but I think they are amazing!

“Imma gonna watch the trailer again. and again.”

Again and again. Dan without his shirt. Dan looking ever so sexy! Dan in the snow. Dan strutting his stuff…yeah!

“yet this “red ban” leaked trailer is viral and no issues?”

Is this a case of…once it is all over the net, well, can’t do anything about it, so join ‘em? A bit like a certain name being mentioned on Twitter?

This article speculates that it might have been deliberately ‘leaked’:

@Leo: I Know! If they have a problem, well it’s just their fu##ing problem. Let the rest of us enjoy it, I mean if they don’t want to see this movie, fine, just let the rest of us enjoy it. They can continue being wet blankets all they like.

Guinness

Hi Mendel—yes, in the Dan Van she must be!! Jealous!
And I was looking for that “deliberately leaked” story as well-nice find! And yes, I will be rapturously waiting the rapturous release come December!!! (wow–that sentence just flowed outta me!!! loved it. Dan does that!) woah! I liked that review—author looked at the trailer as a work of art, which it is, but he described it wayyyy better than I ever could–with transdental and acid-trip verbage. yee haw! Raw Rooney! holly bullocks, I should get paid to write. NOT.

well, enjoy your “bank holiday” if you dont’ have to work. And damn–maybe we will get some pics of Dan around tuesday–when he is already back to whatever country he works in next week!! Does he go by Swedish calendar, or by his home country’s calendar?

BTW–black bears live around here-not the grizzly-crazy-dont-you-humans-know-this-is-my-land bears! thank jevvus! they poop in our garden, run across roads, eat corn in the fields, scare you hiking, and next to our house looking for bird seed(I have ours on the 2nd floor). They are quite amazing, agreed.

~G, see ya tomorrow

Göta

I can see Craig as Mikael Blomkvist. He looks like to be sensitive though he has a strong sense of justice. AND Blomkvist is a womanizer in the original books.

@tricia: Karen O, produced by Trent Reznor who is apparently composing the music for the movie.

Ylva

Oh guys, this isn’t a remake!! This faithfully reflects the mood of Larsson’s world. I’m sure what Christopher Plummer said is right!

Tía

OMG.
Looks awesome, so i’ll see this!

zandy

Ummm. No. Way. Are you going to try to make me believe a trust fund baby like Mara can pull off being Lisbeth Salander? NOT!

Char

Where can I download this music from?

to zandy

no way are you going to make be believe that you know what the heck you’re talking about

Vic

I really love Daniel Craig, and Stellan Skarsgard too, which is awesome!!

Enzo

To zandy
Yeah, it’s easily believable because I have read the trilogy again and again.

Pia

I never get sick of watching!!! This clip is worth seeing many times.

Benewave

Woah-ooh! So cool!! Daniel is so hot<3

BOO

Meh people are just jealous that American movies are superior and most successful. Why else would all of our movies and tv shows go over there for them to watch?
